St. Mark's Cathedral School

St. Mark's is so much more than a school - it is a community that truly feels like home. Having attended St. Mark's myself, it is incredibly special to now watch my girls walk the same halls and grow in the same nurturing environment that shaped so many of my own memories and values. Continuing that tradition means so much to our family.I love the way St. Mark's supports the whole child. The teachers and staff genuinely care about my children's academic growth while also nurturing them spiritually and socially. Both of my girls feel known, valued, and encouraged each day, and that sense of belonging has helped them thrive. St. Mark's holds a special place in my heart, and I love knowing that each day my children are supported, challenged, and inspired to become their very best selves.

As parents of two St. Mark's alumni, we've seen firsthand the incredible impact of a St. Mark's education. Our boys thrived in small classes with rigorous academics and enriching electives, guided by teachers who pushed them toward excellence while nurturing them spiritually. They loved playing numerous sports, and we proudly cheered on our favorite Lions! The faith-based environment was invaluable to us as parents and helped shape their spiritual foundation. Their preparation for high school exceeded our expectations, and the study skills they developed continue to serve them well in high school and now college. Opportunities for leadership, public speaking, and cross-grade mentorship built confidence and lasting relationships for both our boys. St. Mark's truly prepares students for life.Rodney and Jennifer Varnadore, Ethan (SMCS '21), Cooper (SMCS '24)

When our oldest child was ready for kindergarten, we visited several schools in the area, both public and private. Our visit to St. Mark's left us with no doubts that this was where our children needed to be. Our son and daughter both spent 9 years at St. Mark's and the educations they received gave them the tools to succeed in both high school and college. Our son is now an engineer, and our daughter is in medical school. Their success is truly rooted in the academic and spiritual excellence of St. Mark's Cathedral School.

St. Mark's Cathedral School has been a wonderful experience for our family. Between our two children, we have experienced the Little School, Lower School and now Middle school. Both of our children have thrived academically, socially, and spritually. We have been consistently impressed at the challenging curriculum, loving and supportive faculty and staff, and the wide variety of extra curricular options to meet each of our children's varied interests and learning styles. St. Mark's also integrates Christian principles into the fabric of each school day. We have loved that our children have been given the opportunity to grow in their relationships with God through weekly chapel services, Christian education classes, and various service projects throughout the school year. If your family is seeking a nurturing school environment that fosters a lifelong love of learning, check out St. Mark's!

We are grateful to be a part of the St. Mark's community! Here, our three children find a nurturing and inspiring environment where they learn, grow, and thrive. St. Mark's is a wonderful Christian environment where faith and learning go hand in hand. The teachers and administration are truly dedicated-they care deeply about the students and work hard to provide both a strong academic foundation and a nurturing atmosphere.The education is challenging in the best way, encouraging each child to reach their full potential while feeling supported along the way. It's a place where children can grow academically, spiritually, and personally. We know that our children are receiving the foundation they need to be successful.

There is no doubt St. Mark`s provides the best education from PS2-8th grade in the Shreveport-Bossier area. This school gave me the foundation to succeed in all areas of high school. I felt very ahead of my classmates from other schools. To this day, the school continues to thrive and uphold its reputation for its outstanding academics.
